Just need a bit of clarity on this.

Ive bought 4 exterior bulkhead lights to go round the outside of my decking. I want to wire them up so they all come on from one plug.

I presume i just have a cable in to the terminal from the plug and then another cable out from the same terminal to the next light and so on.

Obvious factors....the live and neutrals will be in the same terminals (ie both live from the 2 cables go into the same live terminal and ditto for neutral), Cable is big enough for the load (using 4 x 11w gls bulbs), will go into RCB.

many thanks

That's all it is Hammers. Each one looped on to the next.
Essential to have RCD protection as well.

I guess you'll be needing an exterior weatherproof socket?
.......... also, put a 3A fuse in the plug to protect your cable.
